"A classic Philadelphia eatery known for serving traditional cheesesteaks alongside other neighborhood favorites, representing one of the city's staple spots for the iconic steak‑and‑cheese sandwich." - Pamela Vachon
"If you’ve heard of Pat’s, you’ve heard of Geno’s. The neon-lit cheesesteak house opened in 1966 in the Italian Market, just down the street from its older rival. What have they been fake-battling about for the last several decades, you ask? Who can draw the most tourists and serve them leathery steak on soggy yet near-stale bread. To every local’s shock and confusion, both shops continue to pull this off miraculously well. Geno’s is known for its history of racism, bright orange whiz, and admittedly delicious french fries, but we can’t think of any occasion to head there that doesn’t involve a need for sustenance after a night of tequila and bad decisions." - Candis R. McLean
"Order yours Whiz Wit (Cheez Whiz with fried onions) for the real deal experience." - Robert DiGiacomo
"To add a true taste of Philly to at-home watch parties, impress with cheesesteaks from the South Philly staple. Large catering orders are accepted until Saturday, February 6, until 3 p.m., with delivery available within a 18-mile radius. Or swing by the 24/7 venture for pickup at the historic fixture that’s currently wearing red for February." - Tierney Plumb
"At Cheesesteak Vegas, the picnic tables are blocked off but a few customers still come for cheesesteaks at Geno’s." - Rachel Vigoda
